KINGSPORT - Kinsley Faith Marcum, age 7, of Kingsport, TN, passed away on May 29, 2025. Born on August 30, 2017, to parents Michael and Erica Marcum, Kinsley was a loving, caring, and vibrant child whose joy and laughter touched the hearts of everyone she met. Her extraordinary spirit left an indelible mark on her family, friends, and community.
Kinsley fought a courageous battle with brain cancer, displaying incredible strength and resilience. Her radiant spirit will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved her.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the doctors and nursing staff at East Tennessee Children's Hospital for their exceptional care and compassion, and to the Ronald McDonald House for their unwavering support during Kinsley's treatment.
Kinsley's memory will be cherished forever, and her light will continue to shine in the lives she touched.
